Official Teaser Trailer For HBO’s “Watchmen”

There have been a few brief teasers, but now HBO has offered an official teaser trailer for their “Watchmen” TV series which serves as a sequel of sorts to the iconic 1980s Alan Moore comic.

Set in an alternate history where ‘superheroes’ are treated as outlaws, the series embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own – moving the action to contemporary times.

Showrunner Damon Lindelof revealed that the series will be an original story with new faces and unknown characters introduced into the universe. Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Don Johnson, Louis Gossett Jr., Tim Blake Nelson, Frances Fisher, Tom Mison, Sara Vickers, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jean Smart and James Wolk co-star in the show which debuts in the Fall.
